Anybody see 20/20 report on restaurants ?

I have read that in a study, water directly out of the toilet at a fast food rest is cleaner than the ice in your soda (or any drink).

High school senior in Tampa did this study as her science project this past year. Received national attention. She may have even got on Oprah.


Hawkeye....which Ruby Tuesdays?

I'm currently a server at a Ruby Tuesday near Tampa, Florida. First of all, it's my first experience in the industry and it has truely been eye-opening. But not for the reasons sited in the 20/20 report. Granted, I worked last night and didn't see the report, but if someone sends food back, the entire item is re-cooked. We have at least three mangers on duty all the time and one is in the kitchen. Also when we (servers) bus a table, all items must be taken back to the washing area, even those not used, like a table service with the napkin still wrapped around it or even unused to-go boxes at tables must be thrown out. I haven't seen "Waiting", but I heard it's very funny.

Interesting update........i think.

"Two of the most bateria ridden surfaces we commonly come in contact with are: public keyboards and shopping cart handles."

Any door knob you touch has probably been touched by hundreds of other people. Call me a germ-a-phobe if you want, I don't want you pissing on your hand, not washing it and leaving urine on the door knob of the bathroom or main entrance or whatever.

You both are missing the top one...MONEY...cash and coins have traveled the earth and back...if only you knew where that $1 bill has been. A high percent of US cash has traces of cocaine on it. Remember when you stuck a quarter or penny in your mouth when you were a kid...just think how many germs it had on it.
